A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Maine has several laws and regulations in place to control unwanted solicitation and spam across various forms of communication. These include:

• Commercial Email and Spam: The 2003 Act to Control Internet 'Spam' prohibits the sending of unsolicited commercial emails, and is codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, Part 3, Chapter 224 (§ 1497).
• Telemarketing & Telephonic Anti-Solicitation: Maine has several laws in place to regulate telemarketing, including prohibitions on automated telephone solicitation (codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, Part 3, Chapter 225 (§ 1498)), and number blocking by telemarketers (codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, Part 3, Chapter 225 (§ 1499-A)). Maine also maintains a "Do Not Call" Registry to allow residents to opt out of telemarketing calls (codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, Part 3, Chapter 225 (§ 1499-B)).
• Faxes, Texts, and Other Media Anti-Solicitation: Maine prohibits the sending of unsolicited fax advertisements (codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, Part 3, Chapter 223 (§ 1496)).
• Unlawful Trade Practices: Maine's Unfair Trade Practices Act (codified at Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, Part 1, Chapter 10 (§§ 205A - 214)) prohibits a wide range of deceptive and unfair business practices, including those related to solicitation and advertising.

For example, if a company sends an unsolicited commercial email to a Maine resident, they would be in violation of the Commercial Email and Spam law. Similarly, if a telemarketer uses an automated system to call Maine residents without their consent, they would be in violation of the Telemarketing & Telephonic Anti-Solicitation law. These laws are in place to protect Maine residents from unwanted and potentially harmful solicitation.
